Traveling Here & Getting Around

How do I get to Hub Feenix?

Please check here for all the main modes of transportation. If you’re booking a train from the airport, search for Karjaa (Karis) – you’ll switch at Pasila – and can purchase tickets via VR Tickets. Once you’re in Karjaa, you can schedule a pick-up with us for 10€.

Is there a shared vehicle I can use?

Within the Nomad Wing, the kitchen, lounge and bathrooms are shared. The rest of the building offers access to community lounges, other coworking nooks, a sauna (heated on Wednesdays), a climbing wall, a gym, a home move theatre, a campfire pit, a treatment salon, a music room, a volleyball field, and even an outdoor pizza oven.

Your room comes with ample storage. Need more? Just ask—we’re happy to help.

Guests are welcome to visit during the day if you’re accompanying them. For overnight stays, let us know in advance. A small fee applies for 1–2 nights, and extra charges may apply for a private room.

Are kids and pets allowed?

We love little ones and furry ones too, but our space is geared toward adults focused on work and creativity.

Do you have quiet hours?

Yes. Weekdays: 10 pm–7 am. Weekends: midnight–9 am. Respecting each other’s rest is key to peaceful co-living.

Community and Events

How often are there gatherings?

Every Wednesday, the sauna comes to life—one of our favorite weekly rituals. At the end of each month, we gather for an Artist Talk, where the artists share what they’ve been working on. In between, the calendar fills itself: terrace dinners, movie nights, and fireside chats. At Hub Feenix, community isn’t just part of the experience—it’s the heart of it.

Who is living onsite?

In the Digital Nomad Wing, you'll be with fellow nomads and they are from all over the world. Artists, residents and volunteers live in other parts of the building, creating a lively community of about 30-40 people.

How is communication facilitated?

Signal is how we stay in touch here—think of it as the group chat for everything happening in the house. Please download it before you arrive and message your point of contact so they can add you to the groups.

What kinds of events happen at Hub Feenix?

We regularly host scheduled events and workshops—check out our events page to see what’s coming up. Occasionally, events may limit direct access to the main building from the Nomad Wing, but no worries—you can always use one of the other exterior doors. Spontaneous happenings like film screenings, group dinners, and sauna nights are shared via Signal, so you’ll always be in the loop!

Amenities and Housekeeping

What’s the cleaning policy?

You’re responsible for keeping your room tidy (we’ll provide the supplies), helping keep communal areas clean, and taking out recycling and compost as needed. We’ll handle a deep clean of shared spaces monthly, and provide fresh towels and linens when requested.

What’s the check-out policy?

We ask you strip your bed and place your sheets in the laundry hamper. We’ll then clean your room for the next guest.

What are the laundry options?

A laundry room is available with a washing machine, detergent, and drying racks for use in your bedroom.

Is heating included?

Basic heating is provided in shared areas. For colder months, rooms and studios have electric heaters. You’ll pay for your own usage—typically €60–€80/month, billed at €0.15/kWh.

Do you have air conditioning?

No need! Finland’s climate keeps things cool enough. We focus on heating when it counts.

What are potential costs besides rent?

You may pay extra for:
- Heating and electricity (based on personal use)
- Creative space access (woodworking, 3D printing, studio use)
- Optional private office upgrades

Extras

When is the café open?

Our café opens especially for attendees during special events. If there’s an opportunity for the community to join, we’ll announce it in the Signal group.

Do I have access to all community spaces in the building?

Most shared spaces at Hub Feenix are available to you and included in your stay. A few areas, like the yoga room on the 4th floor and the home cinema on the 2nd, are open for use when the invitation is extended to the wider community. Think: a group yoga session led by a fellow resident, or a movie night for all. Just let us know in advance, and we’ll help make it happen!

What should I bring?

What languages are spoken?

We all speak English. Finnish is widely spoken among Hub Feenix’s residents and many other languages are used depending on who’s staying at that moment.
